Remember Not

Remember Not   ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength,  Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ I remember when young, one time when I lived in the moment. Though not the moment, the time itself. Nor do I recollect the now when I became self-reflected. Imputing moments with meaning, without presence. Revealing that in […]

Choose

Choose ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength,  Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ We are but tiny thinking specks, on a tiny living speck, merely insignificant bits of matter.

Life and Time

Life and Time ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength,  Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Life is trying, trying to stretch me, stretch me thin.

No respite, no recrimination, […]

Always ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength,  Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Oh so many ways we can dream and hope.

Damaged Earth, Damaged Sky

Damaged Earth, Damaged Sky ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength,  Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Why would I want to go that way, knowing where it will likely lead? Like any who find faith at the end, in case they were wrong all along. This conversion on their death bed pure hubris, […]

One Exception

One Exception ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength,  Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ I sit in my car and write, parked in a neighborhood where I would like to live. Unimpeded Pacific Ocean view, out of my price range. Beside bluffs atop Mavericks. Big wave riding has no appeal, though there is […]

Along for the Ride

Along for the Ride ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength,  Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Listening to a long-time friend, nearly 50 years, who currently lives more than 5,000 miles away, playing a bamboo flute, somewhere in Chicago. A mysterious mélange of time and space, relative to not only distance but also […]

Conundrum

Early AM Musings

Early AM Musings ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength,  Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ We must learn to recognize the walls of the world we were born into; see the story we have been told and the one we would choose. The story we have been told comes from family, friends and […]
